چکیده
Metaheuristic algorithm such as BAT algorithm is becoming a popular method in solving many hard optimization problems. This paper investigates the use of Bat algorithm in combination with Back-propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm to solve the local minima problem in gradient descent trajectory and to increase the convergence rate. The performance of the proposed Bat based Back-Propagation (Bat-BP) algorithm is compared with Artificial Bee Colony using BPNN algorithm (ABC-BP) and simple BPNN algorithm. Specifically, OR and XOR datasets are used for training the network. The simulation results show that the computational efficiency of BPNN training process is highly enhanced when combined with BAT algorithm.

An Energy Efficient Clustering Method using Bat Algorithm and Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...
